# SKALE

> The blockchain for a billion agents. Powered by programmable privacy.

### **Start Building**

> **[Apps](/cookbook/agents/build-an-agent.md)**
>

> **[Chains](/developers/run-a-skale-chain/intro-to-schains.md)**
>
> Deploy your own private SKALE Chain with full customization, dedicated resources, and enterprise-grade privacy.

> **[Agents](/cookbook/agents/build-an-agent.md)**
>
> Build and deploy your agent in minutes on SKALE Hubs with zero gas fees.

> **[x402 Sellers](/cookbook/x402/become-an-x402-seller)**
>
> Accept x402 payments and sell your products and services on SKALE.

Explore [developer guides](/cookbook/agents/build-an-agent.md) and [use cases](/get-started/resources/official-links.md).

### **Agentic Commerce**

SKALE is the economic layer for autonomous agents. Native x402 payments, onchain ERC-8004 identity and reputation, and programmable privacy — agents transact with agents, humans set the rules.

> **[Introduction](/get-started/agentic-commerce/skale-agentic-commerce.md)**
>
> The economic layer for autonomous agents. Payments, identity, reputation — native, gasless, composable.

> **[x402 Payments](/get-started/agentic-builders/start-with-x402.md)**
>
> Accept payments from agents with the 402 protocol. Gasless, autonomous, internet-native.

> **[ERC-8004 Identity](/get-started/agentic-builders/start-with-erc-8004.md)**
>
> Onchain agent identities, reputation, and discovery. Trustless A2A interaction.

> **[Build an Agent](/cookbook/agents/build-an-agent.md)**
>
> Create agents that discover, pay for, and consume services autonomously.

### **Programmable Privacy**

SKALE chains have built-in privacy features powered by threshold encryption. Encrypt transaction payloads, build confidential smart contracts, and create tokens with hidden balances — all fully EVM-compatible.

> **[Encrypted Transactions](/developers/programmable-privacy/encrypted-transactions.md)**
>
> Hide transaction payloads during mempool and consensus for MEV resistance.

> **[Conditional Transactions](/developers/programmable-privacy/conditional-transactions.md)**
>
> Smart contracts that request decryption on-demand for sealed-bid auctions and voting.

> **[Confidential Tokens](/developers/programmable-privacy/confidential-tokens.md)**
>
> ERC20 tokens with encrypted balances using dual-layer threshold and ECIES encryption.

> **[Re-encryption](/developers/programmable-privacy/re-encryption.md)**
>
> Encrypt data for specific viewers or private onchain state using threshold and ECIES encryption.
